[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424592, member: 4964"] Tatiana - To have a difficult child son that defiant, and THAT out of control where you had to throw him out of your home actually do something so structured as join the military? My goodness Mom - THAT IS AMAZING! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. First I think it shows tremendous forsight on his part. It says he is thinking about a future for himself. Next it says he is thinking about needing structure and discipline in his life. I don't believe it's a slap in the face to you, just the opposite. I see it as a young man who is trying to pull his life together by showing his family he can become something better, a PART of something bigger. Something which he was obviously not able to do while under your roof. Congratulations to you. As far as finding him? I'm not sure where you are at - your post says greetings abroad, but I think if you have a social security number you should be able to go to the military with that as his Mother and inquire about his wherabouts. Keep in mind - at this point too - he has food, shelter, clothing, he's learning a skill - and with the recent events? Likely he'll never see battle. I think you're in a good place. Him too. Possibly money for college as well. Sounds like he's really putting his life together. Hugs [/QUOTE]
